I am interested in finding a low maint. "weeping" style plant to put on the top layer of rock in my mbuna tank. The idea is to tie it to the rock and alow it to grow down and hang over the edge. Anyone know of a plant that will do this?
"Weeping" Plant?

Thanks. Reading on weeping moss and it looks perfect. I am wondering if I should try to tie it to the rock, or make a mat and tie that to the rock. The rock it is going on is on the top of the pile and is flat on top. Any thoughts? I would hate to have it float off the rock and get all over the place.
Don't take advice from me about securing .. I tried to tie down some Riccia to a rock and its ALL over my tank. So I'm also interested in securing moss methods. Good Luck
From what Ive read ... Riccia is terrible. It doesnt attach to anything. Its a free floating plant that grows on the go. My LFS keeps it in baggies floating around the tank.
Isint Christmas moss also a plant that dies after a few months? I was under the impression that it is not a aquarium plant w/or without Co2 (or am I mistaken for star moss?). I just read a thread in Plantedtank.net saying it is just a show plant and always dies off cause it can't thrive in aquaria
Im new to plants but have been reading profiles and im pretty sure I read this w/others confirming (just not sure if it was Christmas or Star
)

)Thanks for the info West1. Ill have to read up on it. I def. want to go with weeping moss, but if they didnt have it I would have gone with the christmas.

Just make sure to do some searching on Christmas Moss as I read it accidently (so there is room for 1 false/bad thread )
The stuff is very nice though
(few minutes later...)
I take my first post back. I did a search in the plant forum and I am seeing lots of Happy Keepers. So I must have the plant confused Lol
Either way, do post pics when you set it up

3dees has a good point, most Cichlids uproot plants for sport, like we fish or hunt just for fun =]
Good Luck
